CRENÇAS NO DISCURSO DO PROFESSOR UNIVERSITÁRIO

Résumé

Does the use of metaphors really reveal what we think? This paper deals with an unpretentious analysis of beliefs underlying teacher's discourse in school context, aiming at needs analysys amd language awareness. Metaphors and linguistic data have revealed beliefs and ideology, pointing to an ideologically conditioned minimizer, which, otherwise, would have been very difficult to find out.
